Yanshan University, as a comprehensive university, has a relatively large scale of postgraduate enrollment. This means providing more positions and more opportunities for candidates. Although Yanshan University is stronger in the discipline field, it does not mean that all disciplines have reached the top level.

For non-top disciplines, the admission threshold will be relatively low. Yanshan University is located in Qinhuangdao City, Hebei Province, and its geographical position is not superior to that of first-tier cities.
